[. . . ] · Do not pull the power cord out of the socket, but grasp the plug itself to avoid damage to the socket. · Do not allow the power cord to be twisted, crushed, stretched, or come into contact with sharp or hot surfaces. · Do not use the appliance if the power cable or other important parts are damaged. · Do not use electric extension leads that are not authorized by the manufacturer, as they may cause damage or fire. · If it is necessary to replace the power supply cable, please refer to the nearest Polti authorised service centre, since the use of a special tool is necessary. [. . . ] Your Vaporetto may contain some residual water in the boiler from the factory testing.

To prevent accidental steam production, move the safety lock button ATTENTION: Danger of burns! · When refilling the boiler, use HOT rather than cold water, pour in gently at first and keep your face away. Otherwise the still hot boiler walls can spit drops of very hot water or steam spray. · Do not put any detergent or chemical substance in the boiler. · Make sure the patented safety cap is fully and correctly screwed on, otherwise you may experience very hot steam escaping from around the cap. · Do not empty the appliance when the water in the boiler is still hot.

The first time you use the appliance it may leak a few drops of water due to incomplete temperature stabilisation in the hose. We therefore suggest that you initially direct the jet of steam onto a cloth, until the jet of steam appears uniform. NOTE: the pressure indicator (C) will go on and off while the appliance is in use. This indicates that the electrical resistance is operating to maintain constant pressure and should therefore be considered normal. CAUTION: if you press the steam button (4) when the appliance is still under pressure, even if the appliance is turned off and unplugged, steam may be released through the hose. So when you turn off the appliance, press (4) until no more steam comes out of the appliance before putting the appliance away.

When the reducer has been attached, you can connect the desired accessory and lock it in place by turning it in the direction of the arrow appearing on it (fig. 6). [. . . ] Perfect for cleaning radiators, door and window frames, bathroom fixtures and shutters, the lance is a very useful, irreplaceable accessory.
